Have you considered the presence and, if present, the political dimension of the "fey courts"? Are elves and dwarves rivals for political power among the Seelie? Where do so-called "high fey" like the sidhe (or other noble fey) fit in, if they exist at all? Do the Unseelie races coordinate at all, or are they just a bunch of loose cannons?

Of course the the fey court has political drama. But, I assume most of the fey are happy as they live in an idyllic world with many festivals. Plus they enjoy many of the tasks they are doing. A dwarf, I would imagine really enjoys mining and metalsmithing, they are craftsmen by nature, Same with the leprechauns, they enjoy tailoring clothes and making shoes. Some are more mischievious, however, but they are not necessarily dark faeries. The dark faeries decided it was better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven. These faeries were driven underground or to remote isolated areas of the faery realm. The Faeries who were driven out became the Unseelie court while the one who remained became the Seelie Court.

In my concept of the faery world, there many battles and many skirmishes among the fey but there was honor. The ones who did not have honor were expelled to less desirable places. In my story, it is Arachnia. who unites all of the fey who were sent underground to remote locations ( the Unseelie ). She then murdered the elf-king and had many of the faery guests slaughtered so all of the other faery kings (dwarf king, sidhe king, gnome king ect. ) decided she must be expelled from the faery realm. This started a war between the faeries. This ripped open the faery realm and allowed the elves, dwarves ,trolls goblins ect. to come to the mortal realm in my game world. Before this time the faeries were able to come to the mortal realm under special conditions but they were never able to stay long. The sidhe were the ones who turned Arachnia into a spider and cast her into Hell.

Elves and dwarves have different natures but they get along in the faery realm. The have different niches, plus there is plenty for everyone. In the mortal real, elves and dwarves must compete against each other, which is what has caused conflict. When the fey moved to the mortal realm they had conlicts over resources and territory just like other mortals. They did, however, keep their fey nature.
